The Backdoor modifies IE settings for security zones to map all local web-nodes with no dots which do not refer to any zone to the Intranet Zone:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap]
"UNCAsIntranet" = "1"

To automatically run itself each time Windows is booted, the Backdoor adds the following link to its file to the system registry autorun key:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"HKLM" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\InstallDir\Server.exe"

The Backdoor modifies IE settings for security zones to map all urls to the Intranet Zone:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap]
"IntranetName" = "1"

The Backdoor modifies IE settings for security zones to map all web-nodes that bypassing proxy to the Intranet Zone:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap]
"ProxyBypass" = "1"

To automatically run itself each time Windows is booted, the Backdoor adds the following link to its file to the system registry autorun key:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"HKCU" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\InstallDir\Server.exe"

Proxy settings are disabled:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyEnable" = "0"

The Backdoor deletes the following value(s) in system registry:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"AutoConfigURL"

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyServer"

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"ProxyOverride"

Network activity (URLs)

No activity has been detected.

Rootkit activity

No anomalies have been detected.

Propagation

A worm can spread via removable drives. It writes its executable and creates "autorun.inf" scripts on all removable drives. The autorun script will execute the Backdoor's file once a user opens a drive's folder in Windows Explorer.

Remove it with Ad-Aware

1. Click (here) to download and install Ad-Aware Free Antivirus.
2. Update the definition files.
3. Run a full scan of your computer.

Manual removal*

1. Terminate malicious process(es) (How to End a Process With the Task Manager):
   

   2db2f7d48504f5ad9c731e00b3f2f74f.exe:1844
   

2. Delete the original Backdoor file.
   
3. Delete or disinfect the following files created/modified by the Backdoor:
   

   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Winlogon\winlogon.exe (673 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\desktop.ini (67 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\InstallDir\Server.exe (3073 bytes)
   %Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows\--((Mutex))--.dat (314 bytes)

4. Delete the following value(s) in the autorun key (How to Work with System Registry):
   

   [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\c:]
   "2db2f7d48504f5ad9c731e00b3f2f74f.exe" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\Winlogon\winlogon.exe"
   
   [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "HKLM" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\InstallDir\Server.exe"
   
   [HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
   "HKCU" = "%Documents and Settings%\%current user%\Application Data\InstallDir\Server.exe"

5. Find and delete all copies of the worm's file together with "autorun.inf" scripts on removable drives.
   
6. Reboot the computer.
   

*Manual removal may cause unexpected system behaviour and should be performed at your own risk.
